Not sure on the user groups question, but you can't hold a transaction over multiple PHP sessions in any standard way. People think that persistent connections will do this, but they don't. The two solutions to this are to store all the SQL commands in an array and then run them within a transaction on the last page, or to write some sort of "servlet" (either in JAVA or a C/C++ daemon) that stays open for the full run of the scripts, and issues all the DB commands itself. The first one is a LOT simpler to code, but if you've got SELECTs that require data changed from previous writes (INSERTs, UPDATEs, DELETEs) you are out of luck.
